Well, they are going after an issue that would have affected me. I begged my counselors for special permission to get into the boys' PE classes, and had it not been the mid-90s, I probably would have been ID'd as transgendered way before 30 and way before a shiat-ton of problems that are going to make it next to impossible for me to succeed or be independent on my own.

I've had boy feelings since I was 5. I'm 30. Can we please stop trying to argue it's a fad I'll get over?

/almost lost a friend who started spouting the "it's just an excuse for teenagers to have sex"//never ever crossed my mind to get on the guys' teams for sex. Was about not wanting to listen to the girls complain about broken nails, messed up make up, and cheating boyfriends. I just wanted to play basketball, gorramit.

They're taking their country back.

They are dragging us all off the cliff on Mt. Derp. As a long time politics follower, what is going on right now is historically stupid. Monumentally idiotic. Its 'dick in the toaster' insane.

I think it shouldn't be up to the student if they have a gender ID issue I think they should get a note from like a psychologist or counselor or something. This seems a little too easy for some student to abuse.

How, exactly, do you envision it being abused? Do you imagine kids will be lining up to fraudulently take advantage of all the neat benefits bestowed upon transgender kids? Personally, I would think there are easier ways to get teased and beaten up, but maybe not.
